Daland strikes a bargain with the Dutchman, agreeing to offer his daughter Senta as a bride in exchange for treasures. Senta is captivated by the Dutchman's tragic story and vows to be faithful to him, believing that her love can save him from his curse. The conflict escalates as Erik, Senta's former lover, confronts the Dutchman, leading to intense emotional turmoil. Senta ultimately proves her unwavering love by sacrificing herself, plunging into the sea to free the Dutchman from his eternal torment and ensuring their salvation together in death.
